Education program

The PSAC is proud to offer its members a union education program that ranks among the best and most comprehensive within the Canadian labour movement. Our various courses provide members with learning opportunities to develop knowledge, skills, and personal confidence. Union education encourages participation and promotes mutual respect and understanding between members and the union leadership. A trained membership is an active membership and active members build a strong union. 

All training is virtual until further notice! For a list of webinars and online workshops we are offering in the meantime, please click here***

This is to advise you that PSAC Atlantic will be organizing our own PSAC-Atlantic Regional School this Fall.
